SATELLITE
Tech Seminar.

15 peer-evaluated technical presentations across three days. Each one grounded in a white paper. Built by engineers, for engineers.

15 Presentations
3 Days Mon-Wed
25min Per session + Q&A
100% Peer-evaluated
Tech Seminar session in progress
01   Where the Work Comes First

Research-backed from the start.

The SATELLITE Tech Seminar is built around a simple commitment: every presentation begins with the research. Before taking the stage, each speaker submits a technical white paper. That paper is distributed to registered attendees and forms the foundation of everything they present.

In 2027, both the white paper and visual presentation materials are required for all accepted presentations. The white paper must also be made available during the peer-evaluation process, ensuring the program stays grounded in verified technical work from start to finish.

02   A Deliberate Process

Evaluated by engineers, for engineers.

Every submission is evaluated by a committee of practicing engineers for technical rigor, originality, and implementation relevance. The white paper must be available throughout the review. It is what allows the program to select for depth and hold the standard attendees count on.

Each session is 25 minutes with a minimum five-minute Q&A, long enough to go deep, structured to stay focused. Presented by one or two speakers across three days as part of SATShow Week.

Engineer Q&A at Tech Seminar

A highly technical program for engineers who want more than a slide deck, with white paper-driven presentations on the systems, architectures, and design decisions shaping next-generation satellite technology.

From the 2027 Program

Sessions on the 2027 schedule.

A preview of the technical presentations coming to SATShow Week 2027, from post-quantum command security to orbit-aware transport and distributed edge compute.

9:40-10:05 am Daniele Bellomi
Intella s.r.l
Embedding Machine-Learned Anomaly Detection into Relevance-Driven Mission Operations Workflows

Mercury, an AI-based mission intelligence engine, passes anomaly scores through a deterministic relevance layer so operators only see events with real operational impact. Tested on small satellite scenarios, it cut false escalations and investigation time.

10:15-10:40 am Grant Kirkwood
Contrivian Inc
Failover as a Service-Affecting Event: Measuring Session Continuity Across Mixed-Orbit and Single-Tier Satellite Architectures

Failover restores a link but breaks the sessions running over it. This talk separates multi-orbit, multi-constellation, and multi-path designs, and makes the case for measuring resilience by session continuity instead of availability.

1:30-1:55 pm Dr. Ankit Gupta
University of North Texas
Protecting the Command Path: Post-Quantum Authentication and Recoverable Firmware Trust for Long-Lived Satellites

A recoverable trust architecture for command authentication, secure boot, and firmware updates, weighing ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, and stateful hash-based signatures. Attendees leave with a reference architecture, an algorithm-selection matrix, and a command-authentication test plan.

2:00-2:25 pm Marc Witteman
Keysight
Hardware Security Attacks and Defense in Satellite Communication

Why terminal identity is attacked and how, drawing on real cases. Covers root of trust, secure boot, side-channel listening, fault injection, and the mix of countermeasures that makes attacks impractical.

1:30-1:55 pm Alex Khan
BosonQ Psi Corp (BQP)
Edge-Deployable Physics-Informed and Quantum Assisted Neural Networks for Real-Time Autonomous Orbit Prediction

Physics-informed and quantum-assisted neural networks as onboard orbit propagators, benchmarked against SGP4 and Orekit on a Jetson Nano that stands in for CubeSat-class computing.

2:00-2:25 pm Tom Kunath
Cisco Systems
LEO-Aware Routing for Enterprise Networks

A router-hosted application turns telemetry from unmodified commercial LEO terminals into policy-ready signals for routing and QoS. A live demonstration polls Starlink terminal data.

2:30-2:55 pm Mali Vander Leest
Vantor
Beyond TOPS and Watts: Why the Next Constraint in Space Edge Compute Is Coordination, Not Capacity

Compute now sits on the collecting spacecraft, on neighboring assets, and on the ground. The open question is how a mission decides what to process, where, and when, and why coordination may matter as much as the processors.

3:00-3:25 pm Hojin Lee, SOLiD Inc
Doug Pulley, RANsemi
Extensible AI-Native Processor-Array Architecture for Scalable 5G NTN Satellite Terminals and Digital Regenerative Payloads

A chiplet-based processor array that scales from compact 5G NTN terminals to multi-chip regenerative payloads while keeping one hardware and software framework.

3:30-3:55 pm Rajat Bhambani
SES
Orbit-Aware Congestion Control for Multi-Orbit QUIC: Closing the BBRv3 Handover Gap

After a LEO to GEO transition, BBRv3 leaves roughly 30 percent of link capacity unused. BBR-SAT, a short userspace QUIC extension, swaps in orbit-aware parameters within a single RTT and needs no kernel changes.

10:15-10:40 am Dr. Miguel Angel Vazquez
Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya
5G GOVSATCOM-HUB: From a Marketplace for European Space Assets to Automated 5G-NTN Services and Seamless TN-NTN Connectivity

How the EU GOVSATCOM Hub can replace ticket-based provisioning with automated 5G-NTN services, including a demonstration of sessions surviving handovers between terrestrial and GEO satellite networks.

10:45-11:10 am Michael Luby
BitRipple, Inc.
GPU-Based Protection for High-Rate Atmospheric Optical Links

Fade protection for optical links moves from ASICs and FPGAs to software. LT3 fountain codes run on a single commodity GPU at 1.5 to 3 terabits per second, with coding depth set at deployment.
